The United Kingdom has recently changed its BCG vaccination policy in response to the changing epidemiology of tuberculosis (TB) in children. One of the changes has been the abandonment of the long standing school's BCG programme because of the low risk of TB in that population. The other change has been the targeting of those infants and children at increased risk of TB, particularly in populations with increased rates of TB. However, there remain questions as to what role BCG plays in TB control and prevention in the UK.
英国最近改变了其卡介苗接种政策，以应对儿童结核病流行病学的变化。其中一项变化是，由于该人群感染结核病的风险较低，长期实施的学校卡介苗接种计划被取消。另一项变化是，针对那些结核病风险增加的婴幼儿，特别是在结核病发病率上升的人群中。然而，卡介苗在英国结核病控制和预防中所起的作用仍存在疑问。
